TO THE ELECTORS OF THE ELECTORAL DISTRICT OP THE BULLER. Gi ENTLEMEN, The present ' General Assembly being at the point of dissolution, I take the earliest opportunity of disclosing my intention to seek your suffrages. As an old resident amongst you, and upon whom, since the year 18G7, has been conferred the honor of representing an important section of you in the Provincial Council, I may fairly rest my claim in the coming election for the General Assembly, and, I believe, the unshaken confidence that you have extended to me would justify my coming forward as a candidate. To set forth my views in a notice such as this would be too lengthy, and, perhaps, unrequired, as I shall attend meetings throughout the District at the fitting time, and offer a full statement of my opinions upon all subjects that will necessarily occupy the attention of Parliament, and concerning 1 which your Representative should be fully informed. I have the honor to be, Gentlemen, Tours obediently, GEORGE DONNE. Wesport, December 10,1870. ELECTION NOTICE. ELECTORAL DISTRICT OP BTJLLER.
